We're talking about a man from another planet who can fly and shoot beams out of his eyes, I think the discussion of whether or not his glasses are a good disguise for Clark is ironic.

i always think this is a copout answer. I prefer not to think everyone in a comic universe is an idiot. You can't make the glasses thing sound reasonable in anyway, you just have to go with it and say it's traditional.

Yep. Supernatural/fantastical stuff like boy wizards, giant robots or superpowered heroes are genre conventions we agree to as special “internal rules.” But we still expect that the surrounding, mundane details will conform to common experience. If there are telephones or cars (or eyeglasses), they have to work in the familiar way. In other words, consenting to the fantastic on some things doesn’t mean suspending disbelief on everything. Otherwise, you can excuse any number of bad ideas with the “it’s just fantasy” defense.

I'm sure you guys have seen the video where Zach kinda makes fun of the glasses clark wears.... So What if they dont have clark wear them in MOS?? How will they change the story to protect his identity? Any Ideas?? After that video and the fact that there are zero photos of clark with glasses and the fact they wanna make this flim seem more real and make more sense, I truly think they went a new route.

Drop the glasses, it is so out of fashion!
I mean, everyone has been complaining for years about how ridiculous Clark's disguise is, how unrealistic it is.
I mean, it is like the trunks, unrealistic and ridiculous. They make this Superman like a vocal majority wants him, isn't it fine?!? As long as they make him realistic, who cares about what's inside the comics?
Drop the glasses!

The glasses have always been an equally symbolic disguise as a real one. The biggest thing in making him different from Superman has always been personality, voice and stature. In live-action I think both Reeve and Routh did fantastic there.

If you want that Superman you can always watch those old movies and read the comics. i dont understand people. If you want things to move forward, evolve, have directors who are going to bring something fresh to Superman, there are certain elements thatll have to be thrown away. You really want Lex Luthor in EVERY single movie?? A different costume?? its the same costume and it screams superman even without the stupid trunks. He looks like a wrestler with the trunks. That's something they can toss out and itll make the entire costume better as a result. No glasses? it may or not work. It's a stupid, lazy idea to begin with. I dont care who thinks otherwise, but that's why we're trying to come up with some ideas as to Clark PERHAPS not using the glasses. You want Christopher Reeves with the trunks, the glasses, with Lex Luthor as the villain and a brunette Lois? Go watch the first movie.

I want a new and improved story. There is nothing wrong with the initial costume, brunette Lois and Lex Luthor... Make the story interesting, not just change the whole thing from A to Z.

What's unrecognizable? I recognize everything just fine. Everything "Superman" related thus far. And we really haven't been shown much at all. I agree about wanting a new and improved story, but u have to shake the boat a bit.

You don't need Lex Luthor or a different hair color for an actress to achieve a story thats interesting. Thats close-minded. Amy Adams is the best actress they've ever had in a Superman movie. And one of the best going today when you look at all the comic-book films coming out.

There's plenty of great villains to put in these movies. You do NOT need Lex Luthor. You'll probably get him in the 2nd or 3rd movie and the build will be better for it. Hell, they can go 4 movies without the damn character and still pump out cool ****. General Zod, Brainiac, Darkseid, Doomsday off the top of my head could alllll be done before we see Lex next. Won't happen but the point is..some things have to change. Or everything becomes repetitive.

The suit is not even close to being unrecognizable, that is just literally wrong. There is not 1 person that knows what the S symbol means and what Superman is that would not recognize the MOS suit as Superman. First time I heard/read such a thing.

Of course I wont even bother posting pictures of a ginger/redhead Lois Lane's of the past or the fact that Luthor was not in every single Superman storyline of the past because of course everyone has their own idea of what Superman is and a Superman movie should be and not everyone is going to like something different from their perference. But thinking their preferences are the only correct ones from 75 years worth of material and saying something is unrecognizable just because they don't like it...heh, all right.

You being ironic? Hasnt this been very clear since we learned about the new origin they're doing? That MOS would focus a great deal on Superman prior to becoming Superman? That's the idea I got early on myself.
